Bridge lead pickup shootout Holydiver vs. Juggernaut
« on: December 20, 2013, 03:02:58 PM »
Hi you all!

I am looking for a great leadpickup which should be very comfortable when it comes to soloing, shredding, sweeping, pinches and everything that comes to your mind when you hear the word "leadpickup". Of course it should be fine with fast and heavy riffing since we are talking about the BRIDGE position.

So I am trying to figure out which one would fit me the most, but my expectations and sound specifications aren't relevant here. I would want YOU to choose the better one in an objective or subjective opinion. it is up to you. If you could add a few lines advocating your vote it would help me more and others user or viewers who struggle with the same situation.

So thanks for every help I get!

cheers!

I've had both in the same guitar, and although I liked its creamy tone, the Holydiver won't be missed.

It would have to be the Holydiver for me by default as I just don't like any of the Juggernaut clips. The Holydiver has an awesome lead tone but also incredible versatility.

I haven't had either, and I'm guessing there are very few who have had both, so this is a hard one to really vote on.

I feel like the Alnico Black Hawk should be a part of this, too.

I'm recording a huge demo of some High Gain (Modern) Kemper rigs. I'm using Holy Diver Bridge on all the sound clips. If you wait till then, hopefully that might help you...  :D
